Go to war in Afganastan, get shot at for 6 months, represent your country by being in the Marines....
And then come home, and hear someone talking about rules on talking....
You have that luxury but no right whatsoever to tell me what to do or say with my freedom, 1st amendment.

USACamoflauge,
Thank you for serving your country. That is the most important thing I want to say.
However, Dance.net is a privately owned site. There are rules here.
Now, get this- this is important. I see you have a membership here. That means when you applied, you clicked the "I agree" button to our rules here.
Guess what some of those rules here are? Rules that limit what you can or cannot discuss! And you agreed! So YOU AGREED to participate here at the level we set.
So- this is not the place to discuss freedom of speech.

1st and foremost I have enough wisdom in my experiences to know what to discuss and what not to discuss, like I dont know what this sites rules are. Thats rude of you to judge me, and with the freedom of speech thing, I was making a point, you just read in to it too much, overanalyzation is a character flaw.

Woah Woah Woah, BalletGurl never judged you and I don't see any place that would even be considered her showing judgement of you. BG stated facts, nothing but facts. No judgement.
It's great that you have the wisdom to know what to discuss and what not to discuss. Not everyone has that "wisdom" and not everyone follows the rules. There are rules. This is a private website and as BG stated, you agreed to follow those rules. It doesn't matter if you are "smart" enough to know to follow them, not everyone does follow them. Thus, they need to be stated.

Perhaps it is in the US army, but this _is_ just a website, where Balletgurl happends to be in charge. She was just stating facts. To me it looks like you're the one overanalyzing, when you assume she was judging you. Unless someone is rude, we will tell all our members why we keep the rules we do, and how we enforce them. You're no exeption from the other members, ergo she did the same for you as anyone else and placed no judgements.
You have the freedom to play by the rules, and the freedom to leave. Most adult people know how to act and talk to others, and i am happy to hear you are one of them. The rules here, like everywhere else, are formed to our audience, wich contains of people who'se first language is not english, people with dyslexia, 6 year olds, 50 year olds, and we have formed a set of rules that plenty of members here will never need, but they serve a purpose when it comes to keep this a united society.
We as moderators have a right to adress them in our forum and suggest everyone follow the rules they signed up to.

i just want to write to apologize for using netslang if i ever have, because i dont do it on purpose. when i type its mainly on AIM, and its hard to break the habit. I usually follow all the other rules. I do think you should go lightly on us netslang users, because its usually not a purposeful thing, just thats what comes out when we type. it takes concentration to type "you" not "u" or to capitalize "i".

Why do you have to make such a big deal over this. Some people cant spell well or their keyboard doesnt always work right or whatever. As for all the smilies...just becaue it annoys you doesnt mean it's going to annoy everyone else. Some people just plain DON'T CARE. Why should you? You really need to have a life outside the board if it's bothering you so much.

Wow, quit stalking my posts and saying crap about why I shouldn't care. Sorry that I do care, sorry that I have friends here, and sorry that I think you really should just stop replying to my posts if you have nothing good to say. It'd really be nice.

This has been said many times here on dance.net. Please don't use netslang. It looks really awful, and makes the post difficult to read. Spelling out the word correctly and in full is a must in the work force. The CEO of a major company does not have the time, nor does a doctor have the time, to try to decipher letters or forms written in slang.

Actually, ccdancer, BG IS in charge of ya'll, being that she is a mod here and enforces the rules. And it's against the rules to type like that, if you don't like it, leave.

Oh wow, this is hilarious. When I read the first post of this, I thought that it was just going to be a massive karma fest. But to see people saying stuff like "You're not the boss of me, I'm telling on you! You're not my mom!" just seriously cracks me up.
Brittany, you totally said "y'all." *high five*

I don't know where you're seeing "y'all"
I don't even see "Ya'll" which is the correct form of it! I don't ya "y-all!" I say "ya all"
Yeah, see, people on this site don't seem to like me, so they started up this big "you can't tell us what do to" thing, so the lovely BG kindly posted it under her name. I was thinking since it was a mod, people would listen, but that didn't happen.

I don't think that DLS and BG are asking too much out of us. Everyone had to agree to follow the rules before getting a membership, but it seems like not everybody read them. I don't understand why people are getting upset about the Netspeak issue. If you don't write in Netspeak on your homework assignments, then you shouldn't have a problem with not using it on the Internet.
As for the suggestion for looking up a word in the dictionary, you can just type in the word in Microsoft Word and click "Spell Check". It takes about 10 seconds.
Why are people still reacting badly to posts like this one? It's just a reminder of rules, that's it.

Oh like seriuosly people.
They're rules. You have to follow laws in your community? Yo have to follow rules at school? You have to follow rules in dance class and in sporting activities?
Dance.net is just one more thing thathas rules. So seriously, get over it.
Balletgurl is a mod, and a great one at that. DLS is a highly respected and wonderful member who is always looking out for this site. So try to actually show them some respect by following these rules. Stop being so bloody selfish.

i agree with pokey... not using netspeak dosnt mean you have to capitalize your "i"s or stuff like that just make it easy to read for people! Just because you can read it dosnt mean everyone else can. Most of the stuff on here i cant understand, and i just give up.. i wont read it i wont even try! Just think.. alot of this is being translated into spanish or french or russian or all of those other languages and they have NO IDEA what that means! not everything can be directly translated and if you guys dont have any respect for the mods make your own site! when YOU decided to click i agree then you agree to follow the rules... NOT argue about them and dont yell at balletgurl.. if you have a problem LEAVE and please dont come back.. im sick of people arguing with mods... dont you realize they can ban you? think about it before you speak....
And that was my vent.. lol
Love

i agree with you, BG, but i signed up on this wedsite to have fun and talk to people that have things in common with me, share interests, etc, not to have yet another english lesson. sorry, don't want to hurt your feelings but that's what i think.
